Not sure what to say?

What a lovely lady........smart, creative and always welcoming. She will be missed by many. My sympathy to all of her family.

Love to Jerry, all the Ondos and all the Kehoes, from "the other coast", all stitched in memories of another time, when we were very young. We remember Mary Ellen from family gatherings in our childhoods--the holy communions, high school graduations, weddings, and funerals, and we so enjoyed the family stories and photos she would send and post over the years. Love from (cousins) Pat and Jimmie and families.

Aunt Mary Ellen will be greatly missed. I always thought her smile could light up the room. She had a creative spirit like no other. Our family sends hugs and prayers of comfort to Uncle Jerry and all of the family. Kate and Steven Seifried

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. Gerry and I are so sorry for your loss.

Love and prayers for all! Remembering the fun soccer games and trips! Carolyn and Coty Cuttino

Rest in peace dear friend! You will be missed.

Dear Jerry and family, My husband Rod just passed 6 weeks ago so I have an idea of what you may be experiencing. My heart and prayers are with you. Altho I haven't seen Mary Ellen for years, she has always been a special cousin. My prayers are with all of you. Sincerely, Pauline Wagner Rippel

THIS WAS ONE VERY SPECIAL LADY TO ME.... I am so saddened to hear this from my best friend growing up.... Meghan Ondo Geils Mrs. Ondo was my second mom. She was the classiest, smartest, most creative, giving, compassionate person I´ve ever known. She was my rock when my parents were working and especially when my sister was ill/dying. Mrs. Ondo was my happy, safe place. Spent more time at their house than my own.

A sweet, sweet lady has departed this world. Met Mary Ellen while my kids attended Blessed Sacrament School. Seems like I was always at her house picking up t-shirts and gifts with personalized names on them. Loved the talent she displayed on everything she touched. She will be missed.
